Bio Sketch
Anthony Morey is an American designer, writer, and educator working across architecture, interior architecture, and design theory; he has taught design and theory studios in Southern California (Woodbury University School of Architecture, SCI-Arc, and other Los Angeles schools) and writes on the domestic and vehicular landscapes of American suburbia — the garage, the car, and the everyday spaces architecture disavows. His contribution to Marinic's Interior Architecture Reader (2018) is the volume's automobile-register chapter, co-authored with Volkan Alkanoglu.

Key Works
- *"Architectural purgatory: The car, the garage, and the house"* (2018) — Ch. 38 of Marinic's Interior Architecture Reader: the garage as "the architectural equivalent of purgatory" and the car's absorption into the dwelling.
Key Concepts
Concepts associated with this author that have pages in this wiki:
- architectural-purgatory — the garage as neither interior nor exterior, "an object… used as needed and forgotten when not"
- car-as-inhabitant — "the car became as much of an inhabitant of architecture as the human"
- constant-interior — "the world has become a constant interior"
- automobile-vernacular — the Banham lineage the chapter extends
- play — the child's unclassified space as the chapter's design-theoretical ground
Relevance to the Core Research
Morey co-authors the Reader's suburban-automobile register — the chapter that carries the wiki's car cluster (automobile-vernacular, drive-in-house, dromology) into the domestic interior itself, reading the garage as the dwelling's liminal non-space and the suburb's "invisible armature." For the everyday-architecture cluster, the chapter supplies the garage's biography: the typology architecture never designed, built by refusal, and now primed for reabsorption.
